## What it is
Push.js is a compact JavaScript library that wraps the browser Notifications API to show desktop notifications with cross-browser fallbacks for older implementations. It supports ES2015, plugins, and permission handling across Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge.

## Use cases
- show desktop notifications from a web app
- cross-browser notification API wrapper
- request notification permissions in the browser
- send push notifications to users' desktops
- fallback notifications for older browsers
- add toast-style alerts to a frontend

## When to choose
- you need desktop notifications across multiple browsers with legacy fallbacks
- you want a lightweight, plugin-friendly notification library
- you need simple permission handling for the Notifications API

## When to avoid
- you need server-side push (web push protocol) rather than client-side notifications
- you want a maintained project - the repo is seeking co-maintainers and updates are infrequent
- you need mobile push notifications
